Israeli fire on Gaza school causes casualties — UN

An unspecified number of people seeking shelter in a UN school in the northern Gaza Strip are wounded by an Israeli tank shell, a UN official tells AFP.

“At 14:50 [Gaza time], a shell landed in or near” an UNRWA school being used as a shelter, the official says.

“People in the shelter were hurt,” he says, with a spokesman for Gaza’s emergency services reporting deaths at the scene.
